Weetabix is on an exciting growth journey, and many of the opportunities we are recruiting for are newly created roles. These positions reflect our investment in people, capabilities and innovation as we continue to build for the future.

The Recipe (About the Role)

As a Lead Engineer, you will provide day-to-day engineering leadership for a manufacturing shift, ensuring equipment and processes run safely, reliably, and efficiently. Working closely with a team of multi-skilled engineers, you will coordinate planned maintenance, respond to breakdowns, and support strong shift performance.

Balancing hands-on technical expertise with people leadership, you will support skills development, uphold high engineering standards, and ensure maintenance is delivered effectively. You will play a key role in maximising asset uptime, reducing downtime, and enabling the shift to consistently achieve production, safety, and quality targets.

Manage Permit to Work processes and the safe control of contractors and high-risk activities.
Maintain accurate CMMS records, ensuring quality data and timely job completion.
Coach and develop engineering and production colleagues to build capability.
Support engineering activities across multiple production facilities in a fast-paced environment.
Lead root cause investigations and implement effective corrective and preventive actions.
Respond to major breakdowns, driving rapid fault resolution and reducing downtime.
Collaborate with engineering and operational teams to improve reliability, performance, and continuous improvement.
Support wider business needs through additional duties as required.
